    Only a few ingredients are necessary to make a copycat Shamrock Shake recipe and they are probably already sitting in your kitchen!

    I remember two things about St. Patrick’s Day from my youth: 1. wearing green to avoid being pinched at school, and 2. Shamrock Shakes. A few years ago I remember saying to my boys, “Oooo! It’s Shamrock Shake season!” and they looked at me like I had antlers.

    I could not BELIEVE I had not yet introduced them to the good ol’ delicious green shake of the Irish. Except, I’m pretty sure they don’t originate from Ireland. Another YUMMY manufactured American recipe for the books.

    VIDEO TUTORIAL

    If you watch the above video through to the end, you’ll see just how much my cuties love homemade Shamrock Shakes. They are always a festive hit! And super duper easy to make. Like, done in the blink of a cute-little-boy eye.

    HOW TO MAKE THIS COPYCAT SHAMROCK SHAKE RECIPE

    In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, mint extract and food coloring.

    Puree until creamy. Divide between two glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate!

    HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM

    If desired, replace Homemade Whipped Cream with the whipped topping called for in the recipe card.

    RECIPE NOTES: SHAMROCK SHAKE RECIPE

    • It is super fun and festive to top this shake with a few extras such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries.
    • If you have someone in your family who doesn’t care for mint (like I do), prepare as directed minus the extract. Stir the extract into individual glasses, as desired.
